Assignment Details:
Write a summary/strong response essay that includes: (a) a short summary of the book you choose; (b) a strong response to the book (either in support or in opposition to its ideas) in which you speak back from your own critical thinking, personal experience, and values. As you formulate your response, consider both the author’s rhetorical strategies and the author’s ideas. Think of your response as your analysis of how the text tries to influence its readers rhetorically and your wrestling with the text has expanded and deepened your thinking.
